FROM LECTURES ON DOSTOEVSKY BY JOSEPH FRANK What exactly does "faith" mean?
CuddyCruiser comments on Mar 7, 2021:
Faith to me is really just having confidence in your ability to do or accomplish things you want to do.
Triphid replies on Mar 8, 2021:
Could that not be simply TRUST rather than Faith? For example, When I make a cup of coffee I trust that the Coffee is in the pod, the machine is connected to the Electricity, the water is in the tank on the machine and my cup is in place under the machine. I do NOT have FAITH that all those things are there and ready to go. The same goes for when I build something, I do NOT have mere faith that I can do so, I trust that my knowledge and skills have made me able and capable to do so.

I usually manage to 'save up' bones from chickens, etc, for a few weeks at time, let them dry out completely, then crush them to powder with a hammer which results in me getting between 2-3 ounces of powder each time.

@RussRAB Charlie never nipped or anything like that, just seemed have a look on his face that said, " Oh no, not again," and went to his 'fate', the bath like a prisoner going to the Electric Chair LOL. Many, many years B.C. ( Before Charlie that is) I had a Russian Wolfhound, named George of all things, ALL I had to say to him was bath time and he would, literally beat me to the bath tub. At approx. 38 inches in height at the shoulders, he NEEDED to be in a bath tub rather being bathed under the garden hose, his favourite AFTER bath bit was being allowed to submerge himself in to the water leaving just his long nose above it so he could breathe and then he'd nod off to sleep.

In winter, when I go out to get firewood, it IS a 100 kilometre round-trip. The whole firewood trip, including cutting and loading takes from 9.00 am to around 3.00pm including travelling time.

Triphid replies on Mar 4, 2021:
@azzow2 It is NOT a mere prophylactic measure, it is Preventative measure that initiates the Immune System to create antibodies SPECIFIC to the C-19 virus so that IF or when the virus latches on to a human cell the Antibodies almost immediately set about attacking it and the infective agents it creates as it uses that cell to replicate itself. Do NOT confuse either Prophylactics, Antibiotics and Antibodies please. ANTIBIOTICS - A chemical method of TREATING or Preventing Infections, etc, ANTIBODIES - the body's Front Line S.A.S./Commando Regiments, designed and created by the Immune System specifically for almost every separate and individual infective organism that the body comes into contact with, Prophylactics - a stop gap method at their very best, and often, NO a Failsafe method as well as in i.e. Condoms, I.U.D.'s and the like.

Robert Menzies in his Address to the Australian Parliament upon becoming Prime Minister.

The N.S.W. State Government controls the Police Budget and "allocates" (????) resources to suit the supposed, in their minds, priorities as per the Crime Rate of each region. Which in my opinion is sheer BULLSHIT btw. Our LOCAL Policing region covers from the NSW-Sth. Australian Border east to the Darling River and from the Queensland Border in the north to the NSW - Victorian Border in the south and EVERYTHING in between. Most townships along the Darling River and in that area usually have ONLY ONE or 2 Police Officers each, Broken Hill is ALLOWED a maximum of 16 Patrol Officers, 6 Detectives and 1 Superintendent for a LOCAL population of 19,000 people PLUS they also have to cover the area from B.Hill to Wilcannia, across to the Sth. Australian Border the south to the Victorian - NSW Border as well using Motor vehicles ONLY, NO Police Helicopters or other Aircraft. If you look at a map of N.S.W., find the course of the Darling River, then check the area between the river and the borders you WILL see just how big an area they are EXPECT to cover in comparison, for example, to Metropolitan Sydney or other Coastal NSW cities.

@Lilac-JadeCanada These are just 2 of the 12 that cover my property, I call them "King and Kong" the cameras are 'disguised as their eyes and the directional type microphones are secreted in their bodies. "King and Kong" have stereoscopic vision cameras with a clear range of resolution of 25 metres and a sound pick-up range of the same. There is another secreted in a ceramic Eagle statuette fitted to my front Screen-door, 2 more very small hidden cameras at either end of the veranda, 1 focusing on my drive-way gate and Drive-way and others secreted around the perimeter of my yard as well. They ARE all Wi-Fi operated, have a Wi-Fi range of a maximum of 120 metres, connected to a completely separate recording system separate from my Desktop Computer, have a sensor system that allows them to switch to Night Vision, Heat Sensitive Recording automatically as soon as the available light dips below a set level. The original recording system relied on video taping ( VHS style) but I had it up-graded to a Compact disc recording that allows a standard compact disc to record for 36 hours before it needs the disc to wiped or replaced. I even managed to get hold of 'fingerprint sensor style unit that must be used BEFORE the key can be used to open the front door. It is also well and truly hidden but in a very obvious place where I doubt that anyone would even think of looking. Only selected and very trusted friends know where the sensor is, how to access it and have their fingerprints stored in it. As far as I know, a system like mine on the OPEN market would cost anywhere upwards from about $9,000 but mine cost me a few kind words, 4 cups of coffee, 4 home-made lunches, 2 cartons of Beer and 480 dollars, installation included.

@Lilac-JadeCanada The Sergeant just left with the recording after watching it. Asked where my cameras, etc, were so I showed him them. He was kind of impressed that they were so well disguised and had so much coverage and resolution that he asked where I got them.

He looked at me and said, " You must know some people in High places to get that gear, even we can't get gear like that." I merely replied, " Just ask and I shall see what I can get for you, I still have good and trusted contacts from my time working in those Organisations."
